Normally I would say get some easy dives in to practice your skills before moving on but if your local dives are advanced in nature or you have an upcoming trip start working on that advanced cert.

The card is nice but what you really need is time in the water. I’ve seen DM’s with 100’s of dives who only dive inland lakes do stupid stuff in the ocean. Find local buddies, the best place is a dive club and get wet often to build skills.
